About this title

Synopsis

Radiography Essentials for Limited Practice covers all content and information needed by limited radiography students and practitioners, including ancillary clinical skills that a limited radiographer may need to know. It focuses on practical skills rather than theory, explaining the role of the limited practitioner and introducing the reader to radiographic equipment. A section on radiologic sciences covers the basics of physics, x-ray production, exposure technique, processing, and radiation safety. The positioning chapters provide instruction on positioning and imaging of the upper extremities, shoulder girdle, lower extremities, pelvis, spine, chest, abdomen, and head. Other topics include legal and ethical concerns, patient care, infection control, and medical emergencies. The ancillary skills section covers procedures such as medication administration, venipuncture, urinalysis, and ECG. Throughout the book, learning features such as objectives, key terms, and review questions help readers focus on important information.
